Memory Management

2013, two HD videos, 16:9, 01:12 min each

An installation drawn from Maurice Harron’s iconic public sculpture Hands across the Divide, symbolising the division between Catholic and Protestant in the doubly named City of Derry~Londonderry in Northern Ireland.

Memory Management reflects on the hands of the monument’s two figures; frozen in an unfinished reconciliation, almost meeting, but never truly joining. There exists between them an eternal gap.

A transparent, digital reproduction of the eternal void in Harron’s monument floats above the city. Functioning as a warped looking glass as its bounces lazily across the screen, its glossy surface distorting two separate views of the city.
